Paul, I lived on Verde Lomas Circle, near Taft Ave. & Lemon St. & the last orange grove in the city. Lived there from 1971 to 1986 full - time, then part - time until 1990. I have vague memories of Espee switchers spotting PFE Reefers @ Villa Park Orchards as late as 1975.
I was a regular pest @ Frank's Hobby Shop, first on my bike & later driving. I even drove up to Frank's house in Orange Park Acres to pickup forgotten stuff for the MACs hobby show @ Anaheim Convention Center. I used to bike & then drive to Bob & Jean's Chili joint on Chapman & Newport Blvd, and all over the East Orange / Orange Park Acres area. That's why I'm somewhat surprised to hear of this baggage car. Oh well, I learn something new every day !!!
